An 18-year-old city man wanted for allegedly shooting at a woman and her home on two separate occasions last month was arrested Wednesday night after police swarmed the Boston Avenue area.

Tevin Hines, 18, of 42 Boylston St., Apt. 1, was picked up in the area of Lake and Coburn avenues when a police sergeant located him walking on the street around 9 p.m. Wednesday.

During his arrest, Mr. Hines allegedly told Sgt. Michael Cappabianca that he had a gun on him, according to police reports on file in Central District Court.

A loaded .45-caliber handgun was allegedly pulled from Mr. Hines' front waistband. Police also said they also found a bag of marijuana on Mr. Hines.

The arrest came as the sergeant was working with other officers to locate several men wanted on warrants. All of the men were possibly in possession of firearms, court records said.

Officers located a car in front of 90 Ward St. around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday that matched the description of one seen leaving a shooting incident a few days earlier, police said in a news release. Police watched the car, which left and drove toward a cruiser.

A woman was driving and several men were passengers in the vehicle. Officers turned on their lights to stop the car, but it kept going. Police believed Mr. Hines was inside and knew he was wanted for two gun incidents, one on Dec. 25 and the other on Dec. 28, police said.

“The operator of the suspect vehicle refused to stop and continued to drive off. Multiple police officers responded to assist,” police said in a news release. “The operator was driving erratically by ignoring numerous stop signs and red lights. Due to safety concerns, police made the decision to end the pursuit.”

Police later found the car on Boston Avenue with no one inside. A state police dog along with other officers and state troopers converged on the area to search for the occupants.

Police said the serial number of the firearm allegedly found on Mr. Hines had been defaced. Mr. Hines was arrested and arraigned Thursday in Central District Court on charges of carrying a loaded firearm, carrying a firearm without a license, having a firearm with defaced serial numbers and marijuana possession with intent to distribute.

He was additionally charged with two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon stemming from the December shooting incidents. He was ordered held without bail until Jan. 10, when a dangerousness hearing will take place.

Court records show that on Dec. 28 police went to Ashton Street to investigate a report of gunshots. A woman said two vehicles went by her house that day and identified Mr. Hines as an occupant of one of the vehicles.

She told police that there had been several incidents involving a group of people and those were the ones involved in shooting her house. Threats have been made against the woman's children, according to police reports.

The woman told police she saw Mr. Hines driving toward her house on Dec. 28 and it appeared he was reaching for something, police reports said.

“She saw a barrel of a gun, and heard a large boom,” police reports said. “She then saw smoke coming from the car and the vehicle continued on Ashton St.”

The woman said Mr. Hines shot at her on Christmas Day as well. Her son told her Mr. Hines had chased him that day.

The mother told police she saw Mr. Hines and another man walking toward her house. Both of them were wearing masks, according to statements on file in court. She recognized Mr. Hines because of his hair and she could still see his face, reports said.

Mr. Hines allegedly reached into his back pocket and yelled “bang, bang,” but then grabbed a real gun and fired once in the air and then twice at her. The woman did not call police. Apparently her son thought that would make things worse, according to reports.

She told police the men thought her son was involved in a gang, she has known the men for years and even had them at her house for dinner. Her son used to be friends with Mr. Hines and the other men, she told police.

Police also filed threatening to commit a crime charges against two other men, Christian Pacheco, 21, and Jamal Blakney, 18.
